Far View Sites

The Far View Sites in Mesa Verde National Park were once an extensive farming community and one of the most densely populated regions of the Mesa Verde. This mesa top community includes Far View House, Pipe Shrine House, Coyote Village, Far View Reservoir, Megalithic House, and Far View Tower. In ancient times, it was a place of modest homes interspersed with small farm fields, filled with people, vibrant life, and constant change. The area was home to hundreds of people from around 900 to 1300 AD. Visitors can follow a woodland trail among the six sites and read trailside signs to learn about Ancestral Pueblo life in the surrounding landscape between 800 to 1300 CE. The trail is a 0.75-mile loop and is suitable for families to visit and enjoy
